Otago v Northland

[jimmyb]

Do commentators get a bonus everything they describe an all Maori/pacific islander midfield as “powerful”?

[Donsteppa]

A very well taken intercept, and relatively little interest in tackling from Otago.

[taniwharugby]

Damn, Solomon's hands...

[jimmyb]

Dumb from CLW

[taniwharugby]

A few forward floaters being let go

[taniwharugby]

Some good continuity on attack from both sides if not a.bit predictable

[taniwharugby]

All that territory and possession pressure too much there...we need to get some ball

[jimmyb]

It’s a good game to watch but the lack of innovation on attack by both teams will likely mean they won’t be able to compete with the top 2-3 teams

[taniwharugby]

Handling errors still a big problem for us

[taniwharugby]

Man we have seen some awful kicks from hand by Reihana this year...if we stop kicking the ball away and put some phases together a few wide, we have a shot but if we keep giving them the ball, the heat will be too much

[Duluth]

Otago will be disappointed with that scoreline. They had loads of ball

[Kiwidom]

Northland getting a few good turn overs at the rucks

[taniwharugby]

Man we need to get some linking from thier kicks instead of just kicking it straight back to them.

[taniwharugby]

Our discipline is not good enough, too much pressure.

[taniwharugby]

Think that will be the game, too much defending in the first 46 and now only 14 men...lastbweek we conceded 19 while down a man

Completely different player to what we saw for the Crusaders

[taniwharugby]

Rightncall to take points, breather and soak up time with Rush in the bin.

[Landers92]

Some awful discipline from Northland. Otago really need capitalize on it. Line out maul 5m out isn’t working but the scrum is.

[taniwharugby]

Took Salmon off for Balekana...yet to see anything of him to warrant his signing unfortunately

[Landers92]

Jake Te Hiwi’s best game in an Otago jersey by a country mile. Been really good so far
